About this listen

In Episode 16, we delve into Zafarullah Khan’s bold critique of contemporary Muslim attitudes toward women and their rights. Drawing from Islam in the Contemporary World: A New Narrative, Khan challenges the literalist and outdated interpretations that have led to the marginalization of women in many Muslim societies. He brings attention to Quranic verses and historical Islamic precedents that affirm the equality of men and women in dignity, rights, and societal participation. This episode calls for a necessary re-evaluation of entrenched practices and a return to Islam’s core teachings on gender justice. Tune in as we explore how reclaiming these principles can help shape a more equitable and spiritually authentic Muslim society.
